Ex-Man Utd star dubbed the 'next Cristiano Ronaldo' now without a club after having contract torn up

Former Manchester United winger Nani is without a club after his contract was terminated.

The winger spent eight seasons at Old Trafford, making 147 appearances where he scored 26 goals and registered 43 assists.

Nani was part of the United squad that lifted four Premier League titles and defeated Chelsea in 2008 to win the Champions League. He added two League Cups and a Club World Cup to his trophy haul under Sir Alex Ferguson.

Ferguson signed Nani from Sporting Lisbon at the age of 20 and many expected him to be the long-term replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo due to their similarities in playing style.

The Portuguese left United in 2015 for Fenerbahce and is still playing to this day but now finds himself without a club.

His most recent spell was with Turkish side Adana Demirspor alongside ex-Manchester City forward Mario Balotelli but has announced his contract has been terminated with immediate effect.

He wrote on X: “I would like to announce that I have amicably terminated my contract with Adana Demirspor Kulubu with immediate effect.

“I would like to thank the fans for all their support.

“I will now consider the next steps to take in my playing career.”

At the age of 37, it appears Nani is keen to continue his playing career and fans responded to his post with a potential next destination - Wrexham.

One fan wrote: “@Wrexham_AFC Might be worth a shout. What do you reckon @VancityReynolds.”

On the other hand, Manchester United fans jokingly suggested their former player would still be a better attacking option than current winger Antony.

One said: “Would take him over Antony at this point.”

Another added: “Come back to United! At least you know how to cross the ball!”

Someone else wrote: “Bring him home @Man Utd. Need him for the cup final.”

Nani is likely to attract interest from MLS clubs this summer meaning an unlikely move to League One with Wrexham remains extremely unlikely.
